This paper addresses the safety of railway crossings as critical elements of transport infrastructure where rail and road traffic interact. The current design approach is primarily based on normative assessment of individual parameters, such as road geometry and sight conditions, typically evaluated in isolation. However, this approach does not sufficiently capture the interactions between parameters, which significantly influence the overall level of safety. The aim of the paper is to identify inappropriate combi...

This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary traffic survey approaches, focusing on advanced data acquisition platforms and AI-based video analytics. The study highlights a significant transformation in traffic engineering, where traditional data collection methods are being complemented by modern solutions to provide detailed behavioral and safety-related insights. Central to this shift is the use of surrogate safety measures (SSMs) based on traffic conflicts and near-miss events, such as T...

At present the traffic lights are common part of the road intersections. This type of traffic control has many advantages: increase in traffic safety, clearly defined driving preference, increase in intersection capacity etc. On the other hand the intersections with traffic lights can show also some disadvantages, for example wrong behaviour of road participants, problem with traffic flow continuity, often due to wrong signal program, traffic volumes or geometric and building parameters of intersection, economic a...

The paper deals with the analysis of the design elements of the road at the crossing point of the railway line. For the analysis were selected existing level crossings in the Czech Republic, where problems were found during the traffic. These were mainly problems of repeated disorder road pavement in contact with the construction of the level crossing. In addition, there are problems with the crossing of motor road transport or freight traffic. Particularly in the case of longer vehicles (heavy goods vehicles, pub...

In the Czech Republic there is a dramatic deterioration in the construction condition of the culverts. This development was signed by defects caused mainly by traffic from overloaded vehicles, traffic growth, atmospheric effects, chemical effects caused by salting in the winter time, construction type of culverts and age of culverts. One of the most important factors is insufficient pursuance of evidence culverts and construction maintenance, e.g. remove defects occurring in the beginning [1]. The paper deals with...

Roundabouts are generally perceived as safe solution of dangerous intersections. If they are built correctly, number of traffic accidents is lower than in case of common intersection types пїЅ it relates also to severity of results (i.e. fewer deaths and serious injuries, and lower property damages). In comparison with uncontrolled intersections the roundabouts have higher capacity available. Czech standards and technical conditions assess roundabout capacity on the basis of calculation of capacity for approaches ...

The cycle transport is fast developing in the Czech Republic. Gradually becomes not only a sport and way for use free time, but also a full-fledged type of transport. For this to become cycling transport alternative to mobility in cities is need to urban development must also adapt to the needs of cycle transport. It is not only the development of cycle track, but also integrating of cycling transport into the transport system. For fluent and particularly safe keeping cycle transport is also used by interchanges. ...
